Job description

KTH is developing a third-generation VLSI design style called Synchoros (not a typo) VlSI design style. SiLago (Silicon Lego), a Lego-inspired design framework, has been built with this design style as the basis; see this video for an introduction. A heterogenous CGRA fabric with a parallel distributed control scheme is the micro-architectural basis for the SiLago framework. This post-doc position will enhance an existing synthesis framework using modern compilation frameworks (e.g., MLIR) and enhancing its synthesis engine to target dataflow-centric architectures built with the heterogeneous CGRA fabric. Such a synthesis engine will be used to build a library of algorithm implementations for AI/ML in varying dimensions and degrees of parallelism and explore design space at application and system levels, where application is defined as a hierarchy of algorithms and system as concurrent and communicating applications.

What we offer

• A position at a leading technical university; KTH EE department is ranked 23rd worldwide.
• A challenging research project in close collaboration with top-ranked Research institutes and Universities
• A highly competent and international group with innovation and a high-impact research track record: high-level synthesis, Networks on a chip, Clocking, and Lego-inspired design framework called SiLago.
• Swedish academia offers one of the best working conditions for young researchers.
• Work in Stockholm, in close proximity to nature
• Help to relocate and be settled in Sweden and at KTH
